3.2 Principle of operation

Application area VEGABAR 82 is suitable for applications in virtually all industries. It is
used for the measurement of the following pressure types.
• Gauge pressure
• Absolute pressure
• Vacuum
Measured products Measured products are gases, vapours and liquids.

Depending on the process fitting and measurement setup, measured
products can be also viscous or contain abrasive substances.
45028-EN-220624
Measured variables The VEGABAR 82 is suitable for the measurement of the following
process variables:
• Process pressure
• Level
Fig. 2: Process pressure measurement VEGABAR 82
Electronic differential Depending on the version, the VEGABAR 82 is also suitable for
pressure electronic differential pressure measurement. For this, the instrument
is combined with a Secondary sensor.
Fig. 3: Electronic differential pressure measurement via a Primary/Secondary

sensor combination
You can find detailed information in the operating instructions of the

respective Secondary sensor.
Measuring system pres- The sensor element is the CERTEC® measuring cell with robust
sure ceramic diaphragm. The process pressure deflects the ceramic
diaphragm and causes a capacitance change in the measuring cell.
This capacitance change is converted into an electrical signal and
outputted as measured value via the output signal.

Fig. 4: Configuration of the CERTEC® measuring cell

1 Process diaphragm
2 Glass joint
3 Base element
The measuring cell is available in two sizes: CERTEC® (ø 28 mm) and

Mini-CERTEC® (ø 17.5 mm).
Measuring system tem- Temperature sensors in the ceramic diaphragm and on the ceramic
perature body of the CERTEC® measuring cell or on the electronics of the
Mini-CERTEC® measuring cell detect the current process tempera-
ture. The temperature value is output via:
• The display and adjustment module
• The current output or the additional current output
• The digital signal output
Even extreme jumps in process temperature are immediately de-
tected by the CERTEC® measuring cell. The values in the ceramic
diaphragm are compared with those on the ceramic base body. Within
a few measuring cycles, the intelligent sensor electronics compen-
sates for otherwise unavoidable measurement deviations caused by
temperature shocks in the range. Depending on the adjusted damp-
ing, these cause only slight and brief changes in the output signal. 1)
Pressure types The measuring cell design depends on the selected pressure type.
Relative pressure: the measuring cell is open to the atmosphere.
The ambient pressure is detected in the measuring cell and compen-
sated. It thus has no influence on the measured value.
Absolute pressure: the measuring cell contains vacuum and is
encapsulated. The ambient pressure is not compensated and does
hence influence the measured value.
Relative pressure, climate-compensated: the measuring cell is
evacuated and encapsulated. The ambient pressure is detected
through a reference sensor in the electronics and compensated. It
thus has no influence on the measured value.
Seal concepts The following presentations show examples for the installation of the
45028-EN-220624
ceramic measuring cell into the process fitting and the different seal
concepts.

4.1 General instructions
Process conditions Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissible process conditions. You can find detailed information on
the process conditions in chapter " Technical data" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Process fitting
• Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasion and mechanical influences
Protection against mois- Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
ture measures:
• Use a suitable connection cable (see chapter " Connecting to
power supply")
• Tighten the cable gland or plug connector
• Lead the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry or
plug connector
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high
humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled
or heated vessels.
Note:
Make sure that during installation or maintenance no moisture or dirt
can get inside the instrument.
To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.
Screwing in Devices with threaded fitting are screwed into the process fitting with
a suitable wrench via the hexagon.
See chapter " Dimensions" for wrench size.
Warning:
The housing or the electrical connection may not be used for screw-
45028-EN-220624
ing in! Depending on the device version, tightening can cause dam-
age, e. g. to the rotation mechanism of the housing.
Vibrations Avoid damages on the device by lateral forces, for example by vibra-
tions. It is thus recommended to fix the devices with process fitting
4 Mounting
thread G½ of plastic at the installation site via a suitable measuring

instrument holder.
If there is strong vibration at the mounting location, the instrument
version with external housing should be used. See chapter " External
housing".
Permissible process The permissible process pressure range is specified by "MWP" (Maxi-
pressure (MWP) - Device mum Working Pressure) on the type label, see chapter " Structure".
The MWP takes the element of the measuring cell and processing
fitting combination with the weakest pressure into consideration and
may applied permanently. The specification refers to a reference
temperature of +20 °C (+68 °F). It also applies when a measuring cell
with a higher measuring range than the permissible pressure range of
the process fitting is installed order-related.
In order to prevent damage to the device, a test pressure may only
exceed the specified MWP briefly by 1.5 times at reference tempera-
ture. The pressure stage of the process fitting as well as the overload
resistance of the measuring cell are taken into consideration here
(see chapter " Technical Data").
In addition, a temperature derating of the process fitting, e. g. with
flanges, can limit the permissible process pressure range according
to the respective standard.
Permissible process The permissible process pressure range is stated on the type label.
pressure (MWP) - Mount- The instrument should only be operated with these pressures if the
ing accessory mounting accessory used also fulfils these values. This should be en-
sured by suitable flanges, welded sockets, tension rings with Clamp
connections, sealings, etc.
Temperature limits Higher process temperatures often mean also higher ambient
temperatures. Make sure that the upper temperature limits stated in
chapter " Technical data" for the environment of the electronics hous-
ing and connection cable are not exceeded.

4.2 Instructions for oxygen applications

Oxygen applications Oxygen and other gases can be explosive when brought into contact
with oils, grease and plastics, so the following measures must also be
taken:
4 Mounting
• All components of the system, e.g. measuring instruments, must

be cleaned in accordance with the requirements of recognized
regulations or standards
• Depending on the seal material, certain temperatures and pres-
sures must not be exceeded in oxygen applications, see chapter "
Technical data"
Danger:
Instruments for oxygen applications must be unpacked just before
mounting. After removing the protective cover of the process fitting,
the label "O2" will be visible on the process fitting. Penetration of oil,
grease and dirt should be avoided. Danger of explosion!
4.3 Ventilation and pressure compensation

Filter element - Function The filter element in the electronics housing has the following func-
tions:
• Ventilation of the electronics housing
• Atmospheric pressure compensation (with relative pressure meas-
uring ranges)
Caution:
The filter element causes a time-delayed pressure compensation.
When quickly opening/closing the housing cover, the measured value
can change for approx. 5 s by up to 15 mbar.
For an effective ventilation, the filter element must be always free from
buildup. In case of horizontal mounting, turn the housing so that the
filter element points downward after the instrument is installed. This
provides better protection against buildup.
Caution:
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner. The filter element could be dam-
aged, which would allow moisture into the housing.
The following paragraphs describe how the filter element is arranged
in the different instrument versions. 45028-EN-220624

5.1 Preparing the connection
Safety instructions Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
• Carry out electrical connection by trained, qualified personnel
authorised by the plant operator
• If overvoltage surges are expected, overvoltage arresters should
be installed
Warning:
Only connect or disconnect in de-energized state.
Voltage supply Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire
cable. The operating voltage can differ depending on the instrument
version.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter " Technical data".
Provide a reliable separation between the supply circuit and the
mains circuits according to DIN EN 61140 VDE 0140-1.
Power the instrument via an energy-limited circuit acc. to IEC 61010-
1, e.g. via Class 2 power supply unit.
Keep in mind the following additional factors that influence the operat-
ing voltage:
• Lower output voltage of the power supply unit under nominal load
(e.g. with a sensor current of 20.5 mA or 22 mA in case of fault
signal)
• Influence of additional instruments in the circuit (see load values in
chapter " Technical data")
Connection cable The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable without
shielding. If electromagnetic interference is expected which is above
the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, shielded cable
should be used.
Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and
cable gland. Use a cable gland suitable for the cable diameter to
ensure the seal effect of the cable gland (IP protection rating).
We generally recommend the use of shielded cable for HART
multidrop mode.
Cable screening and If shielded cable is required, we recommend connecting the cable
grounding screening on both ends to ground potential. In the sensor, the cable
screening must be connected directly to the internal ground terminal.
The ground terminal on the outside of the housing must be connected
to the ground potential (low impedance).
In Ex systems, the grounding is carried out according to the installa-
45028-EN-220624
tion regulations.
In electroplating plants as well as plants for cathodic corrosion protec-
tion it must be taken into account that significant potential differences
exist. This can lead to unacceptably high currents in the cable screen
if it is grounded at both ends.
Note:
The metallic parts of the instrument (process fitting, sensor, concen-
tric tube, etc.) are connected with the internal and external ground
terminal on the housing. This connection exists either directly via
the conductive metallic parts or, in case of instruments with external
electronics, via the screen of the special connection cable.
You can find specifications on the potential connections inside the
instrument in chapter " Technical data".
Cable glands Metric threads:

In the case of instrument housings with metric thread, the cable
glands are screwed in at the factory. They are sealed with plastic
plugs as transport protection.
Note:
You have to remove these plugs before electrical connection.
NPT thread:
In the case of instrument housings with self-sealing NPT threads, it is
not possible to have the cable entries screwed in at the factory. The
free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust
protection caps as transport protection.
Note:
Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-
proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.
On plastic housings, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed into the threaded insert without grease.
Max. torque for all housings, see chapter " Technical data".
Version IP68 (25 bar) The IP68 (25 bar) version of VEGABAR 82 consists of a process as-
sembly and an external electronics. The serial number is stored in the
process assembly and is also available on the type labels of the two
components.
After connecting and applying the voltage supply, the serial number
will be loaded automatically from the process assembly and displayed
on the display and adjustment module.

Note:
Keep in mind while connecting that the process assembly and the
external ekectronics must have the same serial number. Otherwise
the serial numbers on the type label and the display and adjustment
module do not correspond.
5.2 Connecting
Connection technology The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the spring-
loaded terminals in the housing.
Connection to the display and adjustment module or to the interface
adapter is carried out via contact pins in the housing.
Information:
The terminal block is pluggable and can be removed from the
electronics. To do this, lift the terminal block with a small screwdriver
and pull it out. When reinserting the terminal block, you should hear it
snap in.
Connection procedure Proceed as follows:

1. Unscrew the housing lid
2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turn-
ing it slightly to the left
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable gland and remove blind
plug
4. Remove approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable mantle, strip approx.
1 cm (0.4 in) of insulation from the ends of the individual wires
45028-EN-220624
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry

Fig. 22: Connection steps 5 and 6
1 Single chamber housing
2 Double chamber housing
6. Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan
Note:
Solid cores as well as flexible cores with wire end sleeves are insert-
ed directly into the terminal openings. In case of flexible cores without
end sleeves, press the terminal from above with a small screwdriver,
the terminal opening is then free. When the screwdriver is released,
the terminal closes again.
7. Check the hold of the wires in the terminals by lightly pulling on
them
8. Connect the shielding to the internal ground terminal, connect the
external ground terminal to potential equalisation
9. Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry gland. The seal
ring must completely encircle the cable
10. Reinsert the display and adjustment module, if one was installed
11. Screw the housing lid back on
The electrical connection is finished.

5.10 Switch-on phase

After connecting the instrument to power supply or after a voltage
recurrence, the instrument carries out a self-check:
• Internal check of the electronics
• Indication of a status message on the display or PC
• The output signal jumps to the set fault current
Then the actual measured value is output to the signal cable. The
value takes into account settings that have already been carried out,
e.g. default setting.

45028-EN-220624
Main menu The main menu is divided into five sections with the following func-
tions:
Setup: Settings e. g. for measurement loop name, application, units,

position correction, adjustment, signal output, disable/enable opera-
tion
Display: Settings, e.g., for language, measured value display, lighting
Diagnosis: Information, for example, of device status, peak value,
simulation
Additional adjustments: date/time, reset, copy function
Info: Instrument name, hardware and software version, calibration
date, sensor features
Note:
For optimum setting of the measuring point, the individual submenu
items in the main menu item " Setup" should be selected one after
the other and provided with the correct parameters. If possible, go
through the items in the given sequence.
The submenu points are described below.
6.5.1 Setup
Measurement loop name In the menu item " Sensor TAG" you edit a twelve-digit measurement
loop designation.
You can enter an unambiguous designation for the sensor, e.g. the
measurement loop name or the tank or product designation. In digital
systems and in the documentation of larger plants, a singular desig-
nation must be entered for exact identification of individual measuring
points.
The available digits include:
• Letters from A … Z
• Numbers from 0 … 9
• Special characters +, -, /, -
Application In this menu item you activate/deactivate the Secondary Device for
electronic differential pressure and select the application.
VEGABAR 82 can be used for process pressure and level measure-
45028-EN-220624
ment. The setting in the delivery status is process pressure measure-

ment. The mode can be changed in this adjustment menu.
If you have connected no Secondary Device, you confirm this with "
Deactivate".
Depending on the selected application, different subchapters in the

following adjustment steps are important. There you can find the
individual adjustment steps.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.
Units In this menu item, the adjustment units of the instrument are deter-
mined. The selection determines the unit displayed in the menu items
" Min. adjustment (Zero)" and " Max. adjustment (Span)".
Unit of measurement:
If the level should be adjusted in a height unit, the density of the me-
dium must also be entered later during the adjustment.
In addition, the temperature unit of the instrument is specified. The
selection determines the unit displayed in menu items " Peak value,
temperature" and "in the variables of the digital output signal".
Temperature unit:
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings with [OK] and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and
the [->] key.
Position correction Especially with chemical seal systems, the installation position of the
instrument can shift (offset) the measured value. Position correction
compensates this offset. In the process, the actual measured value
is taken over automatically. With relative pressure measuring cells a
manual offset can also be carried out.
Note:
45028-EN-220624
If the current measured value is automatically accepted, it must not

be falsified by medium coverage or static pressure.
With the manual position correction, the offset value can be deter-
mined by the user. Select for this purpose the function " Edit" and
enter the requested value.
Save your settings with [OK] and move with [ESC] and [->] to the
next menu item.
After the position correction is carried out, the actual measured value
is corrected to 0. The corrective value appears with an inverse sign as
offset value in the display.
The position correction can be repeated as often as necessary. How-
ever, if the sum of the corrective values exceeds 20 % of the nominal
measuring range, then no position correction is possible.
Adjustment VEGABAR 82 always measures pressure independently of the pro-

cess variable selected in the menu item " Application". To output the
selected process variable correctly, an allocation of the output signal
to 0 % and 100 % must be carried out (adjustment).
With the application " Level", the hydrostatic pressure, e.g. with full
and empty vessel, is entered for adjustment. See following example:
100% 2
(196.9")
5m
0% 1
Fig. 42: Parameter adjustment example Min./max. adjustment, level measure-

ment
1 Min. level = 0 % corresponds to 0.0 mbar
2 Max. level = 100 % corresponds to 490.5 mbar
If these values are not known, an adjustment with filling levels of e.g.
10 % and 90 % is also possible. By means of these settings, the real
filling height is then calculated.
The actual product level during this adjustment is not important,
because the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without
changing the product level. These settings can be made ahead of
time without the instrument having to be installed.
Note:
If the adjustment ranges are exceeded, the entered value will not be
accepted. Editing can be interrupted with [ESC] or corrected to a
value within the adjustment ranges.
45028-EN-220624
For the other process variables such as e.g. process pressure, differ-
ential pressure or flow, the adjustment is performed in like manner.
Zero adjustment Proceed as follows:
1. Select the menu item " Setup" with [->] and confirm with [OK].
Now select with [->] the menu item " Zero adjustment" and con-
firm with [OK].
2. Edit the mbar value with [OK] and set the cursor to the requested
position with [->].
3. Set the requested mbar value with [+] and store with [OK].
4. Go with [ESC] and [->] to the span adjustment
The zero adjustment is finished.
Information:
The Zero adjustment shifts the value of the span adjustment. The
span, i.e. the difference between these values, however, remains
unchanged.
For an adjustment with pressure, simply enter the actual measured
value indicated at the bottom of the display.
If the adjustment ranges are exceeded, the message " Outside
parameter limits" appears. The editing procedure can be aborted with
[ESC] or the displayed limit value can be accepted with [OK].
Span adjustment Proceed as follows:

1. Select with [->] the menu item Span adjustment and confirm with
[OK].
2. Edit the mbar value with [OK] and set the cursor to the requested
position with [->].
3. Set the requested mbar value with [+] and store with [OK].
For an adjustment with pressure, simply enter the actual measured
value indicated at the bottom of the display.
45028-EN-220624
If the adjustment ranges are exceeded, the message " Outside

parameter limits" appears. The editing procedure can be aborted with
[ESC] or the displayed limit value can be accepted with [OK].
The span adjustment is finished.
Min. adjustment - Level Proceed as follows:

1. Select the menu item " Setup" with [->] and confirm with [OK].
Now select with [->] the menu item " Adjustment", then " Min.
adjustment" and confirm with [OK].
2. Edit the percentage value with [OK] and set the cursor to the
requested position with [->].
3. Set the requested percentage value (e.g. 10 %) with [+] and save
with [OK]. The cursor jumps now to the pressure value.
4. Enter the pressure value corresponding to the min. level (e.g.
0 mbar).
5. Save settings with [OK] and move with [ESC] and [->] to the max.
adjustment.
The min. adjustment is finished.
For an adjustment with filling, simply enter the actual measured value
indicated at the bottom of the display.

1. Select with [->] the menu item Max. adjustment and confirm with
[OK].
2. Edit the percentage value with [OK] and set the cursor to the
requested position with [->].
3. Set the requested percentage value (e.g. 90 %) with [+] and save
with [OK]. The cursor jumps now to the pressure value.
4. Enter the pressure value for the full vessel (e.g. 900 mbar) cor-
responding to the percentage value.
5. Save settings with [OK]
The max. adjustment is finished.
For an adjustment with filling, simply enter the actual measured value
indicated at the bottom of the display.
Damping To damp process-dependent measured value fluctuations, set an

integration time of 0 … 999 s in this menu item. The increment is 0.1 s.
The set damping is effective for level and process pressure measure-
ment as well as for all applications of electronic differential pressure
45028-EN-220624
measurement.
The default setting is a damping of 0 s.
Linearisation A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. a horizontal cylindri-
cal or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is
required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed for
these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level per-
centage and vessel volume. The linearization applies to the measured
value indication and the current output.
With flow measurement and selection " Linear" display and output
(percentage/current) are linear to " Differential pressure". This can
be used, for example, to feed a flow computer.
With flow measurement and selection " Extraction by root"display and
output (percentage/current) are linear to " Flow". 2)
With flow in two directions (bidirectional) a negative differential pres-
sure is also possible. This must already be taken into account in menu
item " Min. adjustment flow".
Caution:
Note the following, if the respective sensor is used as part of an over-
fill protection system according to WHG:
If a linearisation curve is selected, the measuring signal is no longer
necessarily linear to the filling height. This must be considered by the
user especially when setting the switching point on the limit signal
transmitter.
Current output In the menu items " Current output" you determine the properties of
the current output.
On instruments with integrated additional current output, the proper-
ties for each current output are adjusted individually. The following
descriptions apply to both current outputs.
Current output (mode) In the menu item " Current output mode" you determine the output
characteristics and reaction of the current output in case of fault.
The default setting is output characteristics 4 … 20 mA, fault mode

< 3.6 mA.
45028-EN-220624
Current output (min./ In the menu item " Current output Min./Max.", you determine the reac-
max.) tion of the current output during operation.
2)
The device assumes an approximately constant temperature and static
pressure and converts the differential pressure into the flow rate via the
characteristic curve extracted by root.
The default setting is min. current 3.8 mA and max. current 20.5 mA.
Lock/Unlock adjustment In the menu item " Lock/unlock adjustment" you safeguard the sensor
parameters against unauthorized or unintentional modifications.
This is done by entering a four-digit PIN.
With active PIN, only the following adjustment functions are possible
without entering a PIN:
• Select menu items and show data
• Read data from the sensor into the display and adjustment module
Releasing the sensor adjustment is also possible in any menu item by
entering the PIN.
Caution:
With active PIN, adjustment via PACTware/DTM and other systems is
also blocked.

necessary. This applies, e.g. to the VEGA instruments VEGATRENN
149A, VEGAMET 381, VEGAMET 391. Common Ex separators are
also usually equipped with a sufficient current limiting resistance. In
such cases, the interface adapter can be connected parallel to the
4 … 20 mA cable (dashed line in the previous illustration).
45028-EN-220624
7.2 Parameterization
Prerequisites For parameter adjustment of the instrument via a Windows PC, the
configuration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver
(DTM) according to FDT standard are required. The latest PACTware

version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a DTM Collec-
tion. The DTMs can also be integrated into other frame applications
according to FDT standard.
Note:
To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you should
always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not all described
functions are included in older firmware versions. You can download
the latest instrument software from our homepage. A description of
the update procedure is also available in the Internet.
Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions manu-
al " DTM Collection/PACTware" attached to each DTM Collection and
which can also be downloaded from the Internet. Detailed descrip-
tions are available in the online help of PACTware and the DTMs.
Fig. 45: Example of a DTM view
Standard/Full version All device DTMs are available as a free-of-charge standard version
and as a full version that must be purchased. In the standard version,
all functions for complete setup are already included. An assistant for
simple project configuration simplifies the adjustment considerably.
Saving/printing the project as well as import/export functions are also
part of the standard version.
In the full version there is also an extended print function for complete
project documentation as well as a save function for measured value
and echo curves. In addition, there is a tank calculation program as
well as a multiviewer for display and analysis of the saved measured
value and echo curves.
45028-EN-220624
The standard version is available as a download under

www.vega.com/downloads and " Software". The full version is avail-
able on CD from the agency serving you.
7.3 Save parameter adjustment data

We recommend documenting or saving the parameterisation data via
PACTware. That way the data are available for multiple use or service
purposes.
45028-EN-220624

8.1 DD adjustment programs
Device descriptions as Enhanced Device Description (EDD) are
available for DD adjustment programs such as, for example, AMS™
and PDM.
The files can be downloaded at www.vega.com/downloads under "
Software".
8.2 Field Communicator 375, 475

Device descriptions for the instrument are available as EDD for pa-
rameterisation with Field Communicator 375 or 475.
Integrating the EDD into the Field Communicator 375 or 475 requires
the "Easy Upgrade Utility" software, which is available from the manu-
facturer. This software is updated via the Internet and new EDDs are
automatically accepted into the device catalogue of this software after
they are released by the manufacturer. They can then be transferred
to a Field Communicator.
In the HART communication, the Universal Commands and a part of
the Common Practice Commands are supported.

9 Diagnosis, asset management and service

9.1 Maintenance
Maintenance If the device is used properly, no special maintenance is required in
normal operation.
Precaution measures In some applications, product buildup on the diaphragm can influence
against buildup the measuring result. Depending on the sensor and application, take
precautions to ensure that heavy buildup, and especially a hardening
thereof, is avoided.
Cleaning The cleaning helps that the type label and markings on the instrument
are visible.
Take note of the following:
• Use only cleaning agents which do not corrode the housings, type
label and seals
• Use only cleaning methods corresponding to the housing protec-
tion rating
9.2 Cleaning - hygienic connection with

compression nut
Overview The hygienic connection with compression nut can be disassembled
and the diaphragm cleaned.
The following graphic shows the structure:

Procedure To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Loosen compression nut and remove the pressure transmitter
45028-EN-220624
from the welded socket

2. Remove the O-ring seal for the process fitting
3. Clean the diaphragm with brass brush and cleaning detergent
4. Loosen the hexagon and remove the process component from

the process fitting
5. Remove the form seal for the measuring cell and remove it by a
new one
6. Screw the process component into the process fitting, tighten the
hexagon (wrench size see chapter " Dimensions", max. torque
see chapter " Technical data")
7. Insert new O-ring seal for the process fitting
8. Install the process pressure transmitter in the welded socket,
tighten compression nut
The cleaning is finished.
The pressure transmitter is directly ready for operation, a fresh adjust-
ment is not required.
9.3 Diagnosis memory

The instrument has several memories available for diagnostic pur-
poses. The data remain there even in case of voltage interruption.
Measured value memory Up to 100,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring
memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the respective
measured value.
Depending on the instrument version, values that can be stored are
for example:
• Level
• Differential pressure
• Static pressure
• Percentage value
• Scaled values
• Current output
• Lin. percent
• Measuring cell temperature
• Electronics temperature
When the instrument is shipped, the measured value memory is ac-
tive and stores pressure value and measuring cell temperature every
10 s, with electronic differential pressure also the static pressure.
The requested values and recording conditions are set via a PC with
PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. Data are thus read
out and also reset.
Event memory Up to 500 events are automatically stored with a time stamp in the
sensor (non-deletable). Each entry contains date/time, event type,
event description and value.
Event types are for example:
45028-EN-220624
• Modification of a parameter
• Switch-on and switch-off times
• Status messages (according to NE 107)
• Error messages (according to NE 107)
The data are read out via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control
system with EDD.
9.4 Asset Management function

The instrument features self-monitoring and diagnostics according
to NE 107 and VDI/VDE 2650. In addition to the status messages in
the following tables there are more detailed error messages available
under the menu item " Diagnostics" via the respective adjustment
module.
Status messages The status messages are divided into the following categories:
• Failure
• Function check
• Out of specification
• Maintenance required
and explained by pictographs:
1 2 3 4
Fig. 47: Pictographs of the status messages
1 Failure - red
2 Out of specification - yellow
3 Function check - orange
4 Maintenance required - blue
Malfunction (Failure):
Due to a malfunction in the instrument, a fault signal is output.
This status message is always active. It cannot be deactivated by the
user.
Function check:
The instrument is being worked on, the measured value is temporarily
invalid (for example during simulation).
This status message is inactive by default.
Out of specification:
The measured value is unreliable because an instrument specification
was exceeded (e.g. electronics temperature).
Maintenance required:
Due to external influences, the instrument function is limited. The
measurement is affected, but the measured value is still valid. Plan in
45028-EN-220624
maintenance for the instrument because a failure is expected in the

near future (e.g. due to buildup).

9.5 Rectify faults

Reaction when malfunc- The operator of the system is responsible for taking suitable meas-
tion occurs ures to rectify faults.
Fault rectification The first measures are:

• Evaluation of fault messages
• Checking the output signal
• Treatment of measurement errors
A smartphone/tablet with the adjustment app or a PC/notebook with
the software PACTware and the suitable DTM offer you further com-
prehensive diagnostic possibilities. In many cases, the causes can be
determined in this way and the faults eliminated.
4 … 20 mA signal Connect a multimeter in the suitable measuring range according to

the wiring plan. The following table describes possible errors in the
current signal and helps to eliminate them:
Error Cause Rectification
4 … 20 mA signal not stable Fluctuating measured value Set damping
4 … 20 mA signal missing Electrical connection faulty Check connection, correct, if necessary
Voltage supply missing Check cables for breaks; repair if nec-
essary

11.2 Calculation of the total deviation

The total deviation of a pressure transmitter indicates the maximum measurement error to be ex-
pected in practice. It is also called maximum practical deviation or operational error.
According to DIN 16086, the total deviation Ftotal is the sum of the basic deviation Fperf and the long-
term stability Fstab:
Ftotal= Fperf + Fstab
The basic deviation Fperf in turn consists of the thermal change of the zero signal and the output
span FT (temperature error) as well as the deviation FKl:
Fperf = √((FT)2 + (FKl)2)
The thermal change of zero signal and output span FT is specified in chapter " Technical data". The
basic temperature error FT is shown in a graphic. Depending on the measuring cell version and Turn
down, this value must be multiplied with the additional factors FMZ and FTD:
FT x FMZ x FTD
Also these values are specified in chapter " Technical data".
This applies initially to the digital signal output through HART, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus or
Modbus.
With 4 … 20 mA output, the thermal change of the current output Fa must be added:
Fperf = √((FT)2 + (FKl)2 + (Fa)2)
To provide a better overview, the formula symbols are listed together below:
• Ftotal: Total deviation
• Fperf: Basic deviation
• Fstab: Long-term stability
45028-EN-220624
• FT: Thermal change of zero signal and output span (temperature error)
• FKl: Deviation
• Fa: Thermal change of the current output
• FMZ: Additional factor measuring cell version

Tab. 31: Determination of the long-term stability from the table, consideration for one year: Fstab = 0.05 % x TD
4. Calculation of the total deviation - HART signal

- 1. step: Basic deviation Fperf
Fperf = √((FT)2 + (FKl)2)
FT = 0.79 %
FKl= 0.2 %
Fperf = √(0.79 %)2 + (0.2 %)2)
Fperf = 0.81 %
- 2. step: Total deviation Ftotal
Ftotal = Fperf + Fstab
Fperf = 0.81 % (result of step 1)
Fstab = (0.05 % x TD)
Fstab = (0.05 % x 2.5)
Fstab = 0.125 %
Ftotal = 0.81 % + 0.13 % = 0.94 %
5. Calculation of the total deviation - 4 … 20 mA signal
- 1. step: Basic deviation Fperf
Fperf = √((FT)2 + (FKl)2 + (Fa)2)
FT = 0.79 %
FKl= 0.2 %
Fa = 0.15 %
Fperf = √(0.79 %)2)2 + (0.2 %)2) + (0.15 %)2)
45028-EN-220624
Fperf = 0.83 %
- 2. step: Total deviation Ftotal
Ftotal = Fperf + Fstab
Fstab = (0.05 % x TD)
11 Supplement
Fstab = (0.05 % x 2.5)
Fstab = 0.13 %
Ftotal = 0.83 % + 0.13 % = 0.96 %
The total deviation of the measurement is hence 0.96 %.
Deviation in bar: 0.96 % of 4 bar = 0.038 bar
The example shows that the measurement error in practice can be considerably higher than the
basic deviation. Reasons are temperature influence and Turn down.
